Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Europe’s largest oil company, may cut additional staff at Gulf Coast refineries and chemical plants to reduce costs.
“We did cost reviews at all our Gulf Coast sites,” said Anne Peebles, a Shell spokeswoman. “I believe impacted employees have already been communicated to. Should future staff reductions occur, employees will be communicated with.”
The review is expected to be completed by the end of the year, according to Peebles, who declined to say how many employees have been let go.
